Core 2: Statistics Core

统计核心 统计核心将为中心项目的持续任务提供数据管理和统计支持。 核心成员将在中心研究者和统计资源之间提供接口。统计核心将维持一个快速的多处理器计算机和基于网络的服务器，所有TTURC调查员都可以直接或通过校园网络访问。该资源提供了数据的中央存储库，促进了中心研究者之间的文件共享，并支持许多常用的软件包和基于Web的集中统计 分析系统除了研究支助外，统计核心还包括教育部分。这包括通过正式和非正式协商，增加中心调查人员对统计问题的了解，扩大统计人员对统计理论在卫生问题上的许多应用的认识， 加强生物统计学、统计遗传学、流行病学和预防研究的研究生课程，提供一种机制，分配研究生研究他们可以在监督下工作的问题。此外，The Core将协助Measurement Core对数据收集过程进行心理测量分析和质量控制。核心小组还将进行方法研究，以解决研究中出现的统计问题 TTURC的项目。

Statistics Core The Statistics Core will provide data management and statistical support for on-going tasks for projects in the Center. Core members will provide an interface between Center investigators and statistical resources. The Statistics Core will maintain a fast multi-processor computer and web-based server that are accessible directly or through the campus network by all TTURC investigators. This resource provides a central repository for data, facilitates file sharing among Center investigators, and supports many commonly used software packages and web-based centralized statistical analysis system. In addition to research support, the Statistics Core includes an educational component. This involves increasing the understanding of statistical issues among Center investigators through formal and informal consultations, broadening the awareness by statisticians of the many applications of statistical theory to health problems, and enhancing graduate programs in biostatistics, statistical genetics, epidemiology and prevention research by providing a mechanism to assign graduate students to research problems on which they can work under supervision. In addition, The Core will assist Measurement Core in carry out psychometrics analyses and quality control on data collection process. The Core will also conduct methodological research resulting from statistical issues arising from the research programs of the TTURC.
